Aldi has a range of vegan protein powders and a snack range, ideal for those who like to work out and stay active. According to the Vegan Society, the budget supermarket also sells a collection of plant-based mint chocolate waves, gooey mint bars and marzipan logs.

M&S sells edamame bean burgers - as well as sweetcorn and chickpea ones - and a selection of spring rolls. At the beginning of January the high street retailer received a barrage of criticism from customers for selling cauliflowers for £2.50, with some shoppers claiming they were overpriced.

It also sells beetroot and apple slaw sandwiches which are filled with kale pesto, as well as soy ginger and chili quinoa snacks, rainbow veggie crisps, and cauliflower, coconut and lentil dahl.

Tesco added a new range of vegan foods to its stores at the beginning of the year to accommodate the growing market. The Wicked Kitchen range includes ready meals like pizzas, Thai curries and teriyaki noodles as well as sandwiches, wraps and salads.
